Why do people stay poor?

[Uruhara]

Correct. That is the reality that occurs in life today. Sometimes things are easy for some people and sometimes things are harder for some people. But basically we should not give up with the circumstances we face. As long as we are alive and healthy, we can still have the opportunity to change circumstances to a better standard of living. keep trying and trying is one way that we can continue to do. but of course by continuing to study every step we have taken before. But indeed not everyone who works hard will guarantee good results. luck and relationships are also important to increase the chances of success.

There are really things which are really meant for us and this isnt something that could be advanced for someone to determine. No matter how hard we do deal off with it but if luck and things do goes into the opposite

side then you would really still fail. This is why there are some people who are really that afraid on taking up such risks just because of these kind of possible chances or circumstances which would really be experienced along the way or simply they do really just that afraid on failing or committing those mistakes but thinking up sensibly is that if you do like to achieve up that kind of scenario or condition
then you should work hard and do meet and sustain those struggles or challenges that you might experience along the way.

You wouldnt progress if you wont try or would really be tending to face up those challenges. You wouldnt really be just able to reach out a certain state if you wont really be testing
or taking up a risks on doing so.

Yeah right. At least we should not give up before trying. If there is an opportunity then do it. And if it fails then we evaluate and fix it. Try again armed with the initial trial experience. and usually improvements on the second try can get us closer to success. The point is never feel like a failure before we try it. Most people who find it difficult to raise their standard of living are those who are afraid to go further, they already feel like they have failed before they even tried, they already feel defeated even though they haven't fought yet. But it's not easy to get out of our habit of always being afraid to try new things. So that the initial change might start from the mindset and then move on to real action.

I have always wanted to ask this question is it that there is no opportunity or they do not want to get rich
Mate please more to this I am confused here.

Have you ever dreamed of being poor? If the answer is no, everyone else will give the same answer. It's not a mistake if you are born into a poor family and being poor is certainly not the desire of every individual. Poverty is always associated with problems that occur when poverty occurs. Humans with their rationality abilities certainly don't want to be poor, so why is it so difficult to eradicate poverty even though all humans don't want to live in poverty?

Broadly speaking, poverty is a part of human life that has always existed from ancient times to the present. The existence of poor people in this world is indeed a part of life, throughout the history of human life who live in society, of course there are social groups called poor and rich.
Poverty is of course also not an option, when humans still live in groups as hunters like early humans, then the situation of poor and rich as it is now may not exist.

As crazy as this might sound it's true, some people are comfortable with the way they are living their lives, someone cared for a woman living on the street with her two kids, this guy went ahead to rent an apartment for these woman and her kids and bought foods stuff for them, this went on for a month and while the guy was looking for a job for the woman, she vanished with her kids, and she didn't take anything from the apartment, the bed sheets, cooking tools and expensive things are still all intact.

She wrote down a letter for the guy that she prefers her old way of living, that the guy should not bother to look for them, that she has traveled back to her village, like I have said before, some people just preferred their way of living and we feel mercy for them in their current state, not knowing that they don't feel pity for themselves.

This is the side that I may not be able to understand. But in essence, happiness cannot be measured only by wealth. Because even people who live in poverty, it turns out that they also feel happy with their situation. In fact, I also often see how people in slum areas smile and joke more, children's laughter can be heard even more from that area.

Well there are different viewpoints on this. And we really can't convict someone who is poor is suffering more than us. Because they could be more grateful for what they have and this makes the burden in their life feel lighter. And it's possible that many rich people in the upper class may even have trouble sleeping well because they have too many thoughts in their brains that make their lives uneasy. even delicious food may not taste good if we are not happy. And insomnia in fact affects more wealthy people. and precisely people who can't afford to live just barely can always sleep soundly every night and wake up refreshed.

many lessons from the story that you wrote friends. I love it.

[Sayeds56]

This question is a bit complex because:
-being rich does not mean being FIAT rich. Having good health, access to water, food, and having loved ones such as family and friends is already a form of real wealth.
-poor people by definition do not have the means to invest (real estate, stocks, cryptos etc..). And how to become rich without investment?

Each people, each culture has a different and subjective notion of wealth. Each people and each culture has a different consideration of the threshold at which they qualify as poor / rich. The ways to get out of poverty are not the same depending on where you live, there are places where your economic environment allows it, and others where it is more complex.

Your point is valid that poverty is a complex issue and there are no easy solution to eradicate poverty from society despite desire of every body to become rich. I think political instability is the root cause of poverty. A political stable environment often provides opportunities to all citizens to take advantage of such opportunities. When political stability prevails,, it hampers economic progress and government provides funding for new projects which creates new jobs and iit helps people to prosper and experience a pleasant change in their lives.

Permit me to use the word "Orientation" in this context. You see, in this life, not everybody is as oriented as the other, some people do not even want civilization because they believe it is too much of open access to new generational growths and exposes one to life too way forward hence their retrenchment from the modern life to their old ways of doing things hence they do away with orientations that could enlighten them of better opportunities in life and keep them updated with things around them. This was the situation of the said  woman. This is likened to the parables that says "you can take a horse to the river but you can not force it to drink from the river"

This is definitely a trait that you can inherit and get reinforced when you're in your earlier years, so it can be a difficult habit to break. If your parents are reckless with money or do not invest it wisely, then you may find that you copy them subconsciously, so you have to put extra effort into catching yourself and preventing falling into that trap. The best thing you can do is educate yourself in as much financial knowledge as possible, because it will be useful in so many ways in the longer term. Even just the small things like going shopping, you might start to take more care in spending - not just chasing brand names which are often the same quality as much cheaper options out there.

[DudeAtWork420]

Being rich and being poor is all about your mental capacity to think and develop to make progress. Some people are not good at thinking to generate money while some are fast thinkers to make progress so you can not make more money without being a thinker. Thinkers are good revenue generators which i damn see as a means of making more money. You want to be rich? Think big man.

[odunybiz]

no one wants to be poor all the time, they have tried to be rich, they are usually said to be sufficient, it is good for each month, there are many needs that sometimes you can't actually save, especially if you only have a standard salary.

You are right no one pray to be poor but some have chosen to be poor because they fail to make some necessary move that will bring them out of poverty.

Many people think that poverty is a big problem in the country so that all countries try their best to eliminate poverty, but the most important thing we have to understand is that poverty will continue as long as there is life, there are many things only poor people want to do so that we have to be happy because the presence of poor people is very useful for life.

No matter how good the economy of a country is, there will still be poor people living in the country. In life , is either you are rich, averagely rich or poor. One just need to work on his/her life to choose which life he/ she prefers.

Correct, we all fall in the level of standard we put on ourselves. What is acceptable living the life we want, what is the acceptable money, what is acceptable income, hard work, etc. is presented in your society you belong with could be a factor of one's socio-economic status. But the individual still have the choice of how he can live his life. He could submit to capitalism, study finance, capitalized the opportunity available over the internet. (I am talking about bitcoin) People stay poor as their choice. But don't demoralize those who are still in the process. Those who are still in the making of being rich.

I read that in order to increase your material well-being, you must first of all not be dissatisfied with your current achievements in this area. 

Yes, you must understand that you have short, medium and long term goals to achieve wealth.  But (at the same time) you should also appreciate the achievements you already have. 

Do not devalue the efforts that you have made to grow your material well-being.

 It is also necessary to constantly explore new ways to generate income and acquire the necessary skills and knowledge.  This process must never be interrupted.

Fear of making a mistake, this is what we were taught at school, you can’t make mistakes, because there will be a bad grade. But in life, everything works differently, in order to achieve something, in order to succeed, you need to make mistakes and make a lot of mistakes, because it is when we make mistakes that we improve, we gain experience that helps us grow. And of course, how lazy a person plays an important role, it happens that the most difficult thing is to start doing something, and for this you need to get off the couch, it's not easy. )

[Semar Mesem]

I think poverty will always occur until the life of the world ends, this is because rich people also need poor people and vice versa, don't ever think that there are countries that are 100% rich, there must be poor people and usually the number of poor people is greater than rich people, and the factor that makes poverty never ends is because human nature always thinks poor.

No doubt about it. Just as you have said, the situation is a vice versa thing. There is no country where you can not find or see poor people. They are all over the world and in various countries.

If everybody becomes rich, who would work in the streets, who would go to the market to sell, who would sell the small kiosk, who would hawk those small things people buy along the road to eat just to sort themselves out. This scenario seems to be a vicious circle which needs to keep playing and repeating itself often so that the society can keep on going.

Though poverty is not a good thing to experience as a human but I think it is one of the process or the processes that must occur. It takes place for the society to keep going because if there are no people of that nature in a society, there are some certain jobs in the society that would go on extinct of these categories or sets of people are not in a society.

[kojektea]

they must have a strong determination for it. I think they have to feel first how to run out of money and then they make money by saying. "It's bad if you don't have any money" doesn't mean they are weak. those who are weak are only those who kill themselves, or give up looking for something needed to survive. as long as we try we will definitely get it. if it's not time to be rich after doing the maximum, never give up and be patient.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Sometimes not planning for your money can be or should I say is a factor to why people stay poor. Another is the poor lack the right mindset to manage money or even making the little they have to expand in terms of investing on it. Overspending leaves people poor even when their income put them above the poverty line, they can't really help but act according to how low their mentality is while using money for themselves. Ones they (poor people) are surrounded by people who have nothing productive to offer they can't see that they're not moving in the right path, bad energy kills bright ideas.

Yes, in terms of mindset, that's one of the reasons why people remain poor. And on the other hand, I have an assumption why it is difficult for poor people to level up financially. Poor people do not have many opportunities to achieve success, when they experience failure in the process of achieving success, failure will be a heavy blow for them because otherwise, poor people do not have sufficient capital to start over. Failure is one thing that cannot befall them, but on the other hand, there is no success without failure. They could have achieved success, but they need a long time to prepare everything, such as saving in advance to get capital.

This is very different from the rich, where the rich have many opportunities to start over if they experience failure because they have sufficient capital to be able to repeat the successful process, and that means that rich people have a greater and faster chance of achieving success.

There are really cases where others give up, but it is not a good choice because giving up means you won't reach your destination. Like, let's say no matter how much work you've done, it is still the same. That is really the time that you should do more work and always reflect on what you will do. As it is not always the case that doing your hard work is good, you should also work smart. That is why sometimes when things get busy, I always think about the shortcut to make this easier so that I could finish this fast.

No doubt the fact that poor planning and financial mismanagement result in financial instability in one's life and society as a whole. Even in government, it is so that is why you see the government passing a bill and making a budget so as to meet up with their financial demand in other to deliver the dividend of democracy. As an individual, one needs to plan beforehand so as to avoid unnecessary expenses and waste as this has been the issue faced by many. Instead of wasting, channeling the funds to a meaningful investment would be welcoming upon acquiring knowledge with respect to the particular business one wants to go into. This will help to cusion the level of poverty in the society.

[Nwada001]

L"It's bad if you don't have any money" doesn't mean they are weak. those who are weak are only those who kill themselves, or give up looking for something needed to survive.

I don't know how others do it, but theoretically speaking, anyone who is not looking for money and never gives up, even if the money is not coming at that very moment, should not be considered a failure or weakening because they are trying so hard to make that money, but it's not yet their time.

On the other hand, people who sit comfortably and wait for miracles to happen so that manner will fall from heaven and they will all be blessed and filled with their financial desires are the set of people who should be considered weak and unreliable because they are not yet ready to make it in life and they don't have all it takes to make it out of poverty. So in cases like this, we will see that this kind of person has a higher possibility of staying poor unless help comes from somewhere else, and even when wealth comes where they did not work for it, they can still go back to square one. Anyone who doesn't know how to make money might actually not know how to utilize any little one handed over to them.

The problem with channeling the money to investment is that poor people are lacking, that is one reason why they are called poor.  All they need first is to find a steady stream of funds.  The more the better, then from that they can save their extra money in order to invest in a business or other ventures that can yield more profit for them.  I think it is hard advice for poor people to invest money in something when they have a shortage of it.  Before investing we must make sure that we have stable finances so that we won't be selling them as soon as we invested it.
